TERTRE ROUGE CAMPSITE

[COLD BEER GUY]

Does anybody know why all of a sudden the TR campsite has gone up to 90€ per ticket?
Have those French buggers finally installed new toilet and shower blocks? (and if so, are they made in gold???)

Is there anything left of the view of the track, with the grandstand on the campsite?

Thanks for letting us know what to expect.

I think the camp sites changed ownership a year or two ago, probably explians the price rise, yes they have had new showers and toilets for the last two or three years, the track is a lot nearer to the site now, the grandstands are not in the site but lower down at track level, they do block the view from an area of the site,
  We will be there from wednesday late afternoon (if the slightly used autobox holds together)

Did they have a black box?

Apparently there has been some work done to the site this year including the cutting down of a number of trees to accomodate more space. Whether that has anything to do with the price increase who knows. Perhaps we will see a huge increase in the prices of all tickets at Le Mans in the near future. At the moment Le Mans has  probably the cheapest motor sport tickets in the world  with entrance tickets only costing 50 Euros for 5 days with the prequalifying dates thrown in for good measure. As far as I can recall entrance fees are about the same as they were when I first went in 1983. Are the French about to wake up to the revenue potential.
